window_mouse_queue for GameMaker
A downloadable extension
Quick links: documentation · source code
Versions: GameMaker 8.1, GM: Studio, GMS 2.x, GM2022+¹
Platforms: Windows, Windows (YYC)
This is a wrapper for GetMouseMovePointsEx function that allows to extract high-precision mouse/pointer motion data on Windows. Good for drawing software!
Known issues
On certain machines the coordinates are occasionally reported out of order, or even with out-of-line points.
Most likely an issue with WinAPI function itself, but feel free to debug it if it happens for you.
In the meantime, it is best to offer an option to disable the behaviour so that owners of cursed computers can still use your application (even if with lower precision).
